However, in some hadiths from the [[Prophet (s)]] and the [[Imams (a)]], some religious elements were introduced as tenets of the religion. For example, Sunni Muslims have transmitted a hadith from the Prophet (s) to the effect that Islam is founded on five elements: monotheism, the prophethood of Muhammad (s), the saying of the [[prayer]], paying the [[zakat]], [[hajj]],<ref>Bukhārī, ''Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī'', vol. 1, p. 8.</ref> and [[fasting]] in the [[Ramadan]] month. | However, in some hadiths from the [[Prophet (s)]] and the [[Imams (a)]], some religious elements were introduced as tenets of the religion.

In ''[[al-Kafi]]'', [[Kulayni]] has narrated a hadith from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] that Islam has been built upon five elements: prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj and [[wilaya]] and wilaya is superior to other elements. Moreover, in response to a question about things without which faith is not accepted, Imam al-Sadiq (a) mentioned testifying to the oneness of God, belief in the prophethood of the Holy Prophet (a) and what he has brought from God, belief in zakat and accepting the wilaya of Ahl al-Bayt (a). In this hadith, the narrator has referred to these elements as the pillars of Islam. | ||
